The headache of branches and bridges
Watch out for low bridges and overhanging branches!
Attention to route changes or road diversions in relation to the height of your vehicle can save £££’s
- Place a marker in the cab clearly indicating the vehicle height – a quick check before entering a low bridge or service station could save thousands!
- Approach low bridges and areas of overhanging branches at a reduced speed – the slower the speed the slower the ‘can opener effect’
- Pay particular attention when changing vehicle or route – in our experience this is the most likely cause of collisions.

Damaged panels vulnerable to rot
This majestic bracket fungi emerging from a damaged panel on a sliding door vehicle.
The outer layer to most panels in vehicle construction is the protective layer. Once this GRP film is damaged, water etc. is permitted to enter the panel core and nature will do the rest.
If vehicle damage is repaired at the earliest convenience, much future expense may be spared. However, if left unchecked panel integrity will be compromised.
Drumack frequently undertake repairs to commercial vehicles. Special alloy sections can be sourced for repairs to most UK mainland manufactured vehicles.
A variety of techniques are available for panel repairs dependent on the severity of the damage. Replacement panels are also stocked and a full painting service offered.
